Bacon Crackers Sweet Savory (Printer-Friendly)
Buttery crackers with bacon and brown sugar offer a fast, sweet and savory snack everyone loves.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
32 rectangular buttery club crackers
→ Pork
02 -
16 thin slices of bacon
→ Sweetening
03 -
16 teaspoons packed brown sugar
→ Seasoning
04 -
Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place an oven-safe wire rack on top to allow air circulation for even crisping.
02 -
Cut each bacon slice in half to yield 32 pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon snugly around one club cracker, covering most of its surface without overlapping excessively. Arrange on the wire rack with spacing for proper heat circulation.
03 -
Sprinkle approximately half a teaspoon of packed brown sugar evenly over each bacon-wrapped cracker. Optionally, add a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper to balance the sweetness.
04 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, monitoring closely after 20 minutes. Remove when bacon is crisp and brown sugar has melted into a caramelized glaze.
05 -
Allow the crackers to cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes to let the glaze set and to attain optimal crispness. Serve either warm or at room temperature.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use thin-cut bacon for even cooking and prevent crackers from burning. The wire rack ensures airflow to crisp bacon uniformly.
02 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a hot oven to restore crisp texture.
